Wait, what? It HAS been a while, but IIRC we spun both ways and didn't think much about doing either.
I am forgetting something?
No, I don't recall differentiating between L and R spins either. Pretty sure I normally did mine to the right actually.....
I assure you, there is a difference. All studs at that level simply don't know what the fuck is going on anyway.
It just spins a bit quicker to the right, tends to push you more to the right in the cockpit, more uncomfortable. I always introduced studs to spins to the left.
The original is better, Black Betty, by Ram Jam.
Ok, I do remember spinning faster to the right, but is it that big of a deal? You're not looking outside anyway, and even if you were... it's just a faster blur, but a blur nonetheless.
Procedures still un-fuck the airplane the same way... meh. :sleep_125
Can be a big deal for a student who is huffing and puffing. Or it can be a big deal for the IP who has to wrestle the controls away from the stud who is frozen. A little more zip and alititude loss as I recall. If I'm doing the spins, with plenty under my belt, it is meh. Talk to me after your an IP wise ass. Always a fuckstick in the crowd. The whole 8 spins you've got under your belt means you know about as much as those students when it comes to the spins, left, right, upside down, backwards.
BTW, for those not in the know, this is like ready room banter, I'm not attacking Otto or saying he's a bad stick. He's just being a thorn as he should be with us older farts.

Whatever! I'm one of the lucky ones who IPs "tried" to make sick, and never got airsick cuz I'm a smartass and would offer up my immunity to motion sickness in the brief.
I know PLENTY about spins, thank you very much. That was "Down, right, transition, turn, attitude, Nr, ball, lock, talk, squawk", right?
Man, I'm such a chuck yeager....
/standing by for shitstorm
that was an awesome video... I know almost every face in that video.. Kick ass.
Altitude 9,500, aoa pegged, airspeed building, turn needle full right, airspeed 95kts, recovering... all primary students are experts..thats why they call it primary/TPS duh!
all i know is "power..flare...power...flare"
Peace out
Was it a VT-6 stud who made it? This would make sense. Good man on the power....flare thing![]()
